Longinus (ロンギヌス, Ronginusu) is a DB Core released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-189 Booster Guilty Longinus Karma Metal Destroy-2 on September 11th, 2021.
Description
Takara Tomy's Longinus is a left-spin DB Core that features two metal dragon heads with lance details meant to invoke the DB Core's namesake, the Lance of Longinus from Christian folklore. The design is reminiscent of its predecessors, particularly of the Nightmare Longinus Layer and Longinus Gatinko Chip. Longinus features three Locks, including one extra thick Lock, creating high Burst Resistance. Longinus also has a gimmick: the DB Core has two metal dragon heads, making it the heaviest left-spin DB Core and the third heaviest DB Core overall. The heavy weight of the metal dragon heads generates high inertia which increases a Longinus combination's Knockout and Burst Attack potential.
Overall
Longinus is a must-have DB Core due to its heavy weight; it is further recommended to use Longinus when weight is being prioritized over Burst Resistance, which Bahamut is better suited for.
As such, Longinus is a must-have for the WBO's Burst format.
Longinus is not legal in the WBO's Burst GT format.
Longinus is not legal in the WBO's Burst Limited format.
Longinus is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic format.
